Paramount Producer Talks Trek 2

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot won't be released until May next year, but that hasn't stopped the film's executive producer from already discussing the possibility of a sequel.

Paramount's Roberto Orci told TrekMovie.com that the studio is already trying to tie down the Trek team for a sequel.

He said: "I can give you a spoiler about the studio's state of mind (not about the movie itself). The spoiler is that they already want to lock us down to write the sequel. Take that as you will."

Apparently he went on to clarify that Paramount wants all the Trek team back -- or "The Supreme Court" as he's dubbed them -- meaning Abrams and producers Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof and exec producer Bryan Burk.

Orci went on to say that this was standard practice "unless the studio had a horrible experience with us." Nevertheless, we think this statement -- and the fact Paramount switched the film to a May 2009 release -- is a further indication that Paramount has great confidence in the film and it's franchise potential.
